was confidently expected last night that
a dividend of 3 or 4 per cent. on the main
stem would be declared. After the close of
the Stock Board Baltimore and Ohio shares
sold at 10S, and later 105 was bid and 110
asked. Ten shares were sold at los.
The passing of the dividend deprives the
city of $130000, which was expected to meet
appropriations, and Mayor Hodges stated

CHAMBERLAIN AT BELFAST.
BELFAST, Oct 12.-Mr Chamberlain adj
dressed an audience of 4, 500 persons in Ulster
Hall tonight. He said he knew the condi-
ton of the poor tenants ofDenegaL 1t was
the subject of earnest thought, and he hoped
that before he left Ulster he would find a
solution for the question. [Cheers.l He
would not tell them that the government
and laws were perfect, but they had a Par
lament which could deal with all claims
and remedy all defects. But the defects
did not represent difference between
the North and South. There were two
Irelands. [Cheers. One was under the
leadership of agitators who profited by her
distress; the other loyal and contented
There were also two races, and he did not
intend to submit Ulster to Dublin Parlia-
ment loud cheersl not because he believed
the religious faith of the people would be
endangered thereby. but because he objected
to submitting listers orderly, regular life
to the inventors of the plan of campaign
[Cheers.1
The Irish were now absolutely masterful
in America, especially in New York. The
government which was called the Irish Par
lament in Dublin would be simply Dublin
Tammany Hall ring. He would not con-
sent to handling over the Protestants to
such a ring. Even admitting for the
sake of argument that Ireland should
have a separate government, there was no
reason why Ulster, rejoicing in a govern
ment which it honored, should be forcibly
severed from Great Britain and relegated
to the dominion of the national league.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-The resolution
adopted at the Savannah mass meeting of
Monday night, in favor of the Barracks
site, arrived at the Treasury Department

Guerry approves the titles The Super
vising Architect will write to Judge
Speer, Postmaster Lamar and other
officials in Savannah for their views
as to the character and arrangements of the
proposed building. The accommodation of
the courts and their offices will be the first
considerations. Afterward the claims of
the post office will be considered. The
building will be planned so as TO cost $780,
600. If Mr.. Norwood gets his 100000 res
olution through as soon as Congress meets,
the work will be begun in February, and
the building can be completed in about a
year from that time, provided Congress ap-
propriates the remaining $4,000 promptly.

WIPED OUT BY A STORM.

A Town on the Southern Coast of
Mexico in Ruins.
NoGALEs, ARR, Oct. 12.-One of the
most disastrous storms ever known on the
southern coast of Mexico occurred on Oct
and s. The city of Quelito, town of
more than 5000 people, was totally de-
stroyed and many lives lost. Telegrams
give accounts of most affecting scenes,
many women, children and men founder
ing in the stormy current and crying for
help, which was not at hand. No particulars
are obtainable, as the wires are down. Dis
patches state that the supposition is that
there were a number of wrecks in the gulf,
but the facts cannot be ascertained. Later
dispatches to the Associated Press report
that the entire coffee and orange crops in
Sinola are destroyed.

Forms of Taking an Oath.

Quite chapter might be written up.
on the methods or taking oaths in var
ious countries in both ancient and mod
err times. In some parts of China a
witness is sworn upon saucer at the
moment he takes the oath. In Egypt
the custom prevailed of swearing by
the goose. This is said TO have been
on account of the veneration in which
the goose was held in that country.
In Madagascar the people swear eth
er by their sovereign or by their mother,
and there are two forms Of witnessing
the oath, one to strike the water and
the other TO spear the calf
According to Oldield, in his 'Expe-
dtion into the interior of Africa. by
the Niger at Iddah, placing naked
sword or knife to the throat is looked
upon as the strongest proof Of inno-
cence, and the most solemn form OF
oath they can administer. In this man
ner the King is sworn, or sometimes at
the point of poisoned arrow.
We learn from 'Bruce's Travels that
in Abysslnia a much less savage form
of swearldg is IN use. He says: They
took the two fore-iingers of my right
hand, one after the other, and kissed
them-a form of swearing used there,
at least among those who call them
selves Christians.
The most ancient form of swearing
of which we have any record is that
mentioned in the Bible inGenesis, where
Abraham swearing his oldest servant,
required him TO place his hand under
his (Abraham'sl thigh. This form is
mentioned in several places in the Old
Testament. Anciently the Jews swore
by Jerusalem, by the temple, by the
God of Israel, and also by broken glass,
this last form being Similar to the Chi
nese custom of breaking saucer a.
gainst the witness box.
The ancient Greeks and Romans
swore by Jupiter. Minerva, Neptune,
and other gods and godesses, laying
their head upon the altar of divinity
sworn by taking a particularly solemn
oath (; the ancient Germans by their
gods. by their swords and by their
boards; the Scandinavians, beside ap-
pealing to the gods, touched bloody
ring in the hands of a priest, The Hin
doc swears by the Oeda, and Moham-
medan is sworn on the Koran.

A Brave Woman.

Sister Marie Theresa French nun,
who has lately been decorated with the
cross Of Legion of Honor for forty
years. service in the army ambu
lances. seems to be not oal brave
but merry woman. During u time
of hard fighting in Tonqnin, bomb
fell into an ambulance full of wouad' d
men. Sister Theresa seized the bomb
and carried it to distance. When she
set it down it exploded, but, luckily,
not till she had time to throw herself
fiat on the ground. Her assistants
rushed up in terror, and found her nn-
conscious and covered with blood
When she regained her Senses she ut
tered her customary phrase, "It's only
Joke" an expression which has since
become her nickname. At another
time she was tending wounded man,
when she was struck by passing
plinter from charge Of metraille /; but
her quiet observation was merely, as
usual, ats only joke" At the cer-
emony of the decoration, none Of the
customary formalities were omitted,
The general who CONFERRED the title
chevaliere on the braYe nun touched
her with his sword on her both shoul
ders, and finally brushed her cheek
with his white mustaches.
